The cables are very hard to find so hopefully you have a good one. Dave Renner has some of the small parts if cable needs repair,I think Dave gave a heads up on a used cable on Ebay a week or so ago and it went quickly for a couple hundred or more. Only thing I have found on cable versus Model A rod is be careful how much you open the fuel,not pulling out the choke but opening the fuel on Model B. If even needed at times with fuel pump you can quickly have fuel dripping out of carb.You have to remember to close it when running not as critical with Model A gravity.I think owners manual on Model B addresses this. I am still getting use to operating my first Model B and have been tripped up a couple times due to former Model A expierience.
